Not long after Xia Sanghuan lay down, Fu Moning came over with a glass of water.
"Huanyuan, are you thirsty? Do you want to have a drink?"
Hearing her second elder sister say this, she only then realized that her mouth and throat were parched.
She was really thirsty.
She reached out to take the glass from Fu Moning, but her second elder sister simply inserted a straw into the glass and then put the straw to her lips.
She was taken care of in every possible way.
Everyone watched in silence as she gulped down two big glasses of water. Their hearts ached.
Huanyuan must be extremely thirsty, hungry, exhausted and scared.
After she finished drinking the water, the dinner that the Fu family's head chef had made in a hurry was just served. All the side dishes were her favorites.
She didn't bother to say anything - and luckily they didn't ask either. She picked up the bowl and was about to start eating.
But she was stopped by a young nurse who pushed the door open. The nurse confiscated her food and also gave the Fu family a good scolding.
"How could you give the patient such greasy food? Even if there's nothing seriously wrong, it might still lead to gastrointestinal disorders and diarrhea!"
Watching the nurse's back, Xia Sanghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She really didn't know how her physical condition had been evaluated. She seemed so frail.
She clearly felt that there was nothing wrong with herself.
Thinking this way, she secretly felt her own pulse with her left hand.
The pulse was steady. At most, she was just a bit shocked.
But the food had been taken away. It was impossible to ask the Fu family's head chef to make another portion and send it over.
Moreover, even if it was sent over, she probably wouldn't have a chance to eat it.
So everyone in the ward just stared at each other.
For some reason, although nothing had really happened, the atmosphere was so gloomy that no one dared to speak.
Especially the eldest brother, who was standing farthest from the hospital bed. His head was almost touching the ground.
He looked like a big golden retriever soaked in the rain.
They couldn't just keep silent like this. So Xia Sanghuan had to break the ice first.
"Dad, elder brother, second elder sister, third elder sister, why are you all here?"
"You've been through such a big incident. How could we not be here?"
Fu Youqing replied impatiently, with a faint sob in his voice.
Thinking about all the things she had experienced today, she suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Yes, she had risked her life to steal back the stolen documents alone.
And she hadn't told anyone about it.
"Huanyuan, could you tell us what we've done wrong?"
"Why don't you trust us? You'd rather put yourself in such great danger than tell us about the difficulties you've encountered."
Fu Zeming asked, his voice full of pain.
Hearing her father say this, she felt really bad. She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to reply.
Should she say that she was just being stubborn or that it was just a long - standing habit of hers?
When she first had memories, Xia Laosi was already a widower. He had raised her and Xia Anying on his own.
But since the Xia family's field was a good one, it required much more energy and time than ordinary fields.
So most of the time, Xia Laosi was too busy to take care of the two sisters.
This had made her develop the habit of solving problems on her own and never asking for help if she could.
If this habit was a good one in Qingshanpo, where everyone was struggling to survive and didn't know where their next meal would come from, it had become a bad habit in this environment full of people who cared about her and supported her unconditionally.
Because of her self - esteem and stubbornness, when the documents were stolen, she only thought about getting them back by herself.
Even when she asked Fu Ling for help in investigating information, it was out of sheer necessity.
So the atmosphere turned cold again after Fu Zeming said these two sentences.
Just when she was wracking her brains to find some soft words to comfort her father, Leng Chuanjin, who had been dutifully acting like a transparent person, suddenly spoke up.
"Huanyuan, you've done something wrong and worried your family. Shouldn't you apologize to them?"
Hearing him say this, she gave him a grateful look, then sincerely apologized to her father, brother and sisters.
"I'm sorry. It's all because I was naive that such serious consequences occurred."
"After this incident, I've realized my mistakes."
"Huanyuan promises that I will never make such mistakes again."
Hearing her say this, Fu Moning sighed.
"Huanyuan, Dad asked you this not to hear your self - criticism."
"Think about it. When we have an accident and you see us again, how would you feel?
"Would you be worried or blame us?"
Hearing her second elder sister say this, she quickly replied, "I'd definitely be worried. You're the most important people to me. I'd be so happy if you came back safely after being in danger. How could I blame you..."
As she was speaking, she closed her mouth.
She suddenly understood what her father meant.
Rather than blaming her for acting on her own, her father was actually blaming himself.
He blamed himself for not giving her a sense of security, and for the fact that when she encountered difficulties, she didn't think of asking for help but tried to solve them on her own.
"Huanyuan, you're the daughter that our Fu family has painstakingly found. You're the youngest sister in our family."
"No matter what difficulties you encounter, we'll face them together with you."
"So, the next time something like this happens, you must tell us immediately."
"Promise elder sister, okay?"
Fu Moning's words made Xia Sanghuan's throat tighten.
The tears she had held back for so many times finally fell.
Xia Laosi loved her, and so did her master.
But most of the time, they didn't have the extra energy to take care of her.
So she always subconsciously tried to solve various problems on her own.
When she fell down, she would just get up, pat the dirt off and pick some herbs to apply on the wound.
When she was unjustly accused by a group of people, she would just silently digest and bear it, not telling anyone.
She was actually used to the fact that the people around her didn't have extra love and care to give her.
But since she came to Yuntan, when she caught a cold, there was someone to take care of her; when she got injured, there was someone to feel sorry for her. The Fu family members were all loving her with all their might.
"Huanyuan, don't cry. It's all Dad's fault. Dad was too harsh."
"Dad won't be harsh on you anymore. Stop crying, okay?"
She shook her head at Xia Zeming. "No, Dad. I'm not crying because you were harsh on me."
"I'm just so surprised that suddenly there are so many people caring about me."
She forced out a big, warm smile to show her father her true feelings.
For a moment, the gloomy atmosphere in the ward, which had been like an ice cellar, melted like ice and snow under the spring breeze. It returned to the harmonious and happy atmosphere when the Fu family members were together.
